DING DONG INVITATIONAL

Donny Smith Memorial Golf Tournament and Banquet

West Seattle Golf Course

Friday, August 23rd, 2024

 

Welcome to the 2024 Ding Dong Invitational!  We are thrilled to announce the inaugural golf tournament in honor of our beloved Donny Smith.  Join us for a celebration of Donny's love of life, friends, family, and community.

The golf tournament will be a four-person scramble and all ages and skill levels are welcome.  There will be gifts, games, and prizes, including closest to the pin, longest drive, and the coveted best dressed golfer award.  

The Ding Dong Invitational will be a day to come together to share old stories and create new memories in honor of a man who meant so much to so many.    

As a tribute to Donny Smith’s selfless support of his family, friends, and neighbors, the Ding Dong Invitational will donate any proceeds to charity.  In 2024, any proceeds raised will benefit Transitional Resources, a licensed behavioral health center and assisted living facility located in West Seattle.  For more information on Transitional Resources, visit www.transitionalresources.org

Please join us for a day of golf, friendship, and philanthropy.  What more could Donny want?

-The Smith family and the Donny Smith Fan Club  

WHAT TO EXPECT

 

What to expect on the day of event? At check in you will receive a gift bag, golf cart, and starting hole.  It will be a shotgun start, meaning everybody will start and finish at the same time.  Watch out for a few fun games on the course and don’t forget to smile and show off your best swing for the photographer.  

Drinks and snacks will be provided on the course.  After the round, please join us at the West Seattle Golf Banquet Hall for lunch, drinks, and awards.

What is a four-person scramble? Each player in a four-person team hits their tee shot, and then the team selects the best shot from the group.  All players then take their next shots from the spot where the best shot landed.  This process continues until the ball is holed out.  Golfers of all abilities will contribute to their team’s success. 

What if I am brand new to golf? We want to ensure anybody and everybody can participate.  If you are brand new to golf, you can register for the Rookie Division.  Rookies will play from different tees making each hole much shorter and more manageable.

What if I need playing partners? If you register as a single golfer, we will partner you with other players to round out your team.  If you know other participants you wish to be partnered with, please identify them in the Notes field when registering.

How can I participate if I don't play golf? Non-golfers may register for Banquet Only and join us for the festivities.  Come cheer on the golfers and then join us for happy hour and the awards banquet.   Click here for Banquet Only registration.
